Chinarello Dogma F (100% Aliexpress Build)

[jonathanf2]

my first experience of carbon item from aliexpress was the rim brake wheelset (dura-ace) from Zhou Shi Jun (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004941919441.html) and he has frames of dogmaF and even painted Aeroad before in his Store... when I decided to get the frame, it's not listed anymore so he said he has another store that lists the aeroad and dogmaF.... thats "ride love"...

aethos clone also one of my option but doesnt include the handlebars then i opt for dogmaF
take the black one, cause the white one is exact copy of aethos with cable entry in the downtube (topheadset is not 52mm)... black one is full internal (topheadset is 52mm) and needs a good headset(kocevlo full handlebar with headset is i think fits on this aethos https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006561735597.html)...

aethos black full internal cable headset 52mm

I'm still on the fence if I want the full internal or semi-internal cabling Aethos clone. Full internal looks nicer, but it's a hassle when flying with a bike box. How was the buying experience from that seller? How long did it take to prep and ship your bike?

for the frame, placed last 31st March and he showed me photos by 29th April then start to get logistics update by 5th May and reached to collection center by 15th May... 45days total and its reasonable...
i didnt pressure the shipment since i want at least the paint works to be at best possible result and so far, its fine

went for a month of annual break...

getting back on my bike after a month...
tires are dead flat
bought a magene C606+H303+S314 and tested today...
i love the data related to pedal balance, left 46% right 54%

well the bike still seduces me to pedal harder 
no issues yet until now...

Really nice build, love it!. I contacted the store to know if they are going to be producing the 2025 "dogma" F and said in about 3 months.

sweat ride today...

adjusted the headset as i feel there's a gap/play... tightened and seems okay now...

that's a really low average speed given the D+. If you put Conti GP5000 tyres instead of these Kenda, you will probably go a lot faster for the same effort. Either tubeless, or run with aliexpress TPU tubes. The bike will also feel much nicer to ride. Pretty much guaranteed. Upgrading from poor tyres may be the best upgrade one can do on a bike. In Europe the non tubeless version costs around 45 eur per tyre, and they're made in germany.

I love it. Especially the store name "14 year old store", registered since... March 2024.
The troll in me would love to buy one, I'm really curious about how it rides. I'm heavy, fat and slow, even if it's 80pc as good as the real one, I'd be the limiting factor. Having built 9 Chinese bikes in short order, I feel that while building I'd get a good sense of whether it would self destruct while riding or not.
I don't even like pinarello. I'd probably put a "pizzaiolo" logo on it with the pinarello font.

The ease of build, and tolerances like caliper mounts and how the headset top cap interfaces with the headtube, are usually good indicators of how the frame will ride.

I wish and hope that my build will last a thousand miles...

I already tried my build on some climbs(june 7th) on which i said it is more stiff than my old bike...

my power and speed on the new bike is better than my old...
i dont know maybe i am more excited to ride the new one

[beemerchie]

here's my old bike... just to have a reference on the "ride feel" difference...

power meter is the same as i only transfer from old to new build.. 2watts better on the new bike...
the speed is a bit doubtful on the new bike as i only refer on the GPS speedo of the computer while the old one uses some wheel speed sensor...
both ride uses the same computer...

the big difference is the "ride feel" against the old bike...

just to update...
log around thousand kms already(but only +700kms on my c606 the rest on my bc107...

able to ride my first grand fondo with this build... im dead 

my update with my builds...
to remove my doubts on my headset, i bought spacer set to add 10mm to create enough space between top cap and the expander plug...

My TPU blew while in the garage due to the weak PVC rim tape I bought! I always inflate to 80 PSI before riding. I’m not sure if my pump meter is broken, but luckily it didn’t happen during my gran fondo.
so now, i replace even the rear wheel with a rim tape for tubeless that comes along with the rim, i hope it will not be like the pvc tape.

uhhh my STI nameplate on the left side was gone... waiting for this replacement come and ride again...
